Fun way to get out on a fatty! The bike rides and handles very well, even on tight and hilly singletrack. As with other fat bikes, it seems to defy the normal rules of riding...it will climb/descend nearly anything you have the guts to attempt. The frame and wheels provide a platform worth upgrading (stock Sram X5 doesn't always respond quickly when needed). Overall, it is a well put together bike that I look forward to taking out for many winter, and shoulder season, adventures!
